@hachi: I was expecting to be let down by a lack of spongebob references in here when I clicked.
BUT
You have exceeded my expectations.
10/10 would click again.

@nyx: aaaahhhh! Decision-making is not my strong suit
*starts sweating profusely*
uhhhhh
2k for corvid and 4k for hopper?

I made my closest work buddies take this and the 3 of us that get along best were the same type.

@nyx: How much for corvid couture and hopper?

It might be easier to just post a pic of my bag..... I'm a little afraid to look in it myself.

Edit: I decided to list everything in my work bag right this second.


I think I have a problem

completely relevant to this thread.

I have already purchased tickets for the event hype train and am waiting patiently

Love the new items!

@stostina: This is what I was told all through college- "The first year is the hardest, the second is a little easier, and the third is the icing on the cake." I feel like that only works for those that stay in the same grade level/subject area, but it was close for me. It does take a bit to get your management style down, but the good thing is that kids are really receptive and flexible. If you decide that your management style just isn't working for you, you can change it mid-year and it's fine. You aren't stuck for an entire year with what you started with and you're allowed to change your mind. The older crowd (high school) pretty much knows how this whole school thing works by then and most students want to be respectful. Very few actually WANT to get in trouble, you know? I think the biggest problem you would get from HS is apathy. Some kids just don't care. Maybe it's the subject area or maybe they've got a lot of other stuff going on, but some kids just do not care.

The standardized testing side really sucks and it's really stressful, but you just have to keep in mind that that's a one day snapshot. You gotta let it roll off. Did they make at least a year's worth of growth? Awesome, if they did! Now, that growth may not be on grade level/passing. I have kids that come to me in 4th that are reading on a first grade reading level. Are they going to magically be reading on a 4th grade level by the end of the year? Probably not. Will they grow at least a year's worth under a teacher who cares? Yes, absolutely!

Also, one thing I've noticed in PD and different times I've interacted with high school teachers is that the older ones are cranky and whine about everything and it just dampens the spirit of the people that actually want to be innovative and try new things. They aren't willing to try anything new or different and they can really bring the whole vibe of the room down. Ignore the crankies, ignore the complainers, and ignore the negative nancies.

You've got this!

Also, you are awesome.

That is all.

the amount of personalization that voltra allows through having all of the colors for every common item!

I feel like this doesn't limit newer users like other sites might with their common items.

Hardly anyone has even a similar avatar here and it makes for a really fun atmosphere and lets our personalities shine through pixels.


Thank you Voltra for doing such an outstanding job!

@stostina: This is my 5th year. I've made it to the year that they say most people quit by. I've accomplished something
I hardly ever see teachers on avatar sites. This is great.

@stostina: Welcome! Fellow teacher here! *Teacher High Five*
I teach elementary math and science.
I'm glad you're here!

I now have my own plushy army.
